A hummingbird flies
from garden phlox
into a throat
so slick, so deep,
so blue, so stark
at the center... The swallow
the great sky makes
seems to surprise
the black cat’s eyes,
shadow-dark,
like creosote.

Whose throat is that?
A thing that size,
that it could eat
— this gets the cat —
meals so petite,
fill up, digest,
and take its rest
or go to sleep
where eyes can’t follow...

The cat’s jaw shakes.
